Explanation

The Mauryan dynasty was established by Chandragupta Maurya (c. 321-297 BCE) with the guidance of his advisor Chanakya (also known as Kautilya). Chanakya was the strategist who helped overthrow the Nanda dynasty, not the founder himself. Ashoka was a later Mauryan emperor (c. 268-232 BCE).
